Cut slits in it and pound it flat.

Don't cut it at all, simply pound it up starting front to rear and work your way to the middle. Heating it just enough to stretch the joint might not be a bad idea either, just to keep the steel from ripping.

I cut slits in it and then pounded it flat, and then for good measure since i own a welder and know how to weld I welded a piece of steel plate over the pinch weld for reenforcement, was it needed no, does it look good after I recoated the wheel well in por-15 yes and I will never have to worry about pinch welds again
